For this Tuesday, at 2:30 p.m., the hearing of precautionary measures is set, in the Palace of Justice, by the former director of the Botanical Garden, Andrea Forforiinvolved in illegal charges through ‘QR’.
The former official of the mayor’s cabinet Jhonny Fernández was accused by the commission of prosecutors for the alleged crimes of extortion and embezzlement.
The councilor for the Autonomous Community (CA), Juan Carlos Medrano, told EL DEBER that Forfori’s hearing was moved from December 30 to this Tuesday, February 14, after the ex-authority had to testify in the Prosecutor’s Office in the first instance, but it was suspended for the aforementioned date because the central building was destroyed during the protests due to social conflicts, after the apprehension of Governor Luis Fernando Camacho.
I consider that there is an “intentionality” for the former director of the Botanical Garden does not declare this Tuesday, and that his defense is presumed to present any incident in order for the hearing to be suspended.
If you don’t show up to testify an arrest warrant should be issued. He previously appeared at the Prosecutor’s Office and did not carry his cell phone to be investigated, ”he said.
Medrano assured that there are all indications that Andrea Forfori is involved in this irregular event, since the statement of at least 10 Botanical Garden officials point to her as the main person responsible for this case of corruption in the Santa Cruz commune.
For this case there is a person in preventive detention in the Palmasola prison. This is the former director of Human Resources of the Botanical Garden, Enrique Mariaca, who was imprisoned for a period of 120 days, while the justice ordered detention and the payment of a bail of Bs. 120,000 to Rocío Zurita, a former official under investigation, indicated as the person who sent the QR to different WhatsApp groups so that the transfers can be made.
In his second appearance at the Prosecutor’s Office, on December 9, Andrea Forfori assured that she will not fleewho will show his face and appear as many times as necessary to respond to the process.
On that occasion, prosecutor Iván Quintanilla asserted that there is a QR, where you have deposited amounts of money to a person, which is “irrefutable”.
The investigation into the ‘QR’ case came to light in December before the complaint made by councilor Medrano for the alleged trafficking of items in the Mayor’s Office of Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
This was revealed by an audio where the former director of the Botanical Garden is heard, supposedly, asking for payments by QR.
In that audio, a woman supposedly an official, complain to Forfori that “they never told him that they were going to do this matufiada since September.”
“It’s not bad, to begin with, because this one here has worked three months for free, this one the same, this one too. How much money do you think I paid you for your work? It is not a matufiada, I am not a thief, I am not, ”says the former director of the Botanical in the audio.
